I'm not really an expert on turntables......or any other hifi really
But this seems like a good budget turntable for someone, it doesn't look right with the arm supplied though (maybe it just needs a paddle?)

Hi Dunc,
YES, if they've been fully tested on a professional valve tester by someone who knows what they're doing. Good, original GEC tubes sound utterly fantastic, in a way which makes all other equivalents sound broken.
But a BIG NO, if they haven't been tested, as you could buy them, plug them in, and they could instantly go pop and/or sound total shite!
Therefore, as a seasoned NOS tube buyer, from eBay or wherever, my golden rule now is only to spend big money on FULLY TESTED TUBES. Therefore, as these GECs are untested, I'd leave them well alone.
Marco.
